So glad the media are dwelling endlessly on the  Herman Cain sexual harassment accusations, leaving much less important stories such as this one off the front page:

Wartime Contracting Commission Seals Records for Next Twenty Years

Not so fast?

AP reports:

U.S. Sens. Claire McCaskill and Jim Webb want the federal government to allow public access to records from a commission that investigated wartime contracts.

The two Democratic senators say the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan has decided to seal its records from public review for 20 years. But McCaskill, of Missouri, and Webb, of Virginia, want the U.S. archivist to disclose the records "as quickly as possible."

Webb and McCaskill sponsored the legislation that created the commission.

Earlier this year, the panel estimated that at least $31 billion and possibly as much as $60 billion has been lost to waste and fraud in contracts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

That comes to a loss of $12 million every day for 10 years. (And the rest of the money is so well spent ...)

The commission wrapped up its operations in September and transferred its records to the National Archives.

And threw away the key. Let's hope McCaskill and Webb find it, and quick.

Otherwise ... Julian Assange, call your office.
